8 Ways to Take Your Beauty Routine From Summer Into Fall

It's time to transition your go-to look for the coming season. That means tucking away your mega-bright lipsticks and lightweight creams for products that are altogether richer and more sumptuous. Here, we break down your routine, so you can get started today.

Now’s the time to swap out today’s fuchsia and coral lipsticks for tomorrow’s burgundies and aubergines. But instead of last year’s opaque oxblood trend, this season, moody lipsticks are appearing in sheer color washes and translucent stains. The cult classic Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey subtly deepens lips with just a kiss of merlot, while YSL’s Prune in Fire lipstick offers slightly more robust color payoff with mega-watt shine. Or try Revlon’s Crush balm stain for a raspberry popsicle-like tint.

Seeing Red

Seeing Red

Stash away your current smoky bronze and charcoal shadows for autumn’s newest sultry eye hue: crimson. Seen on the runways at Cynthia Rowley, Anthony Vaccarello, Ruffian, Altuzarra, and Gucci, a smoldering gaze becomes instantly updated in shades of cranberry, garnet, and russet. Swipe Chanel’s Ebloui cream shadow over lids and slightly above creases for a shimmery flash of maroon, or use M.A.C’s Mauveless shadow for a subtler, more matte veil of color. Otherwise, Estée Lauder’s Enchanted Berries palette has enough monochromatic hues for a complete eye look that you can take from day to night.
